The association of variants of concern with severe outcomes following COVID-19 infection in British Columbia

The prevention of serious illness is a priority in public health management for communicable disease prevention; and is of paramount importance during a pandemic, when public health measures need to be put in place. This work is a retrospective multivariable analysis of the relationship between variants of concern (i.e alpha, gamma, delta) and severe outcomes (i.e. hospitalization, critical care and death), following COVID-19 infection in British Columbia using linked data. The analyses will examine the differential effect of the relationship between VOC and outcomes by age and sex.
